Picked up some Lucas Oil Tire and Trim Shine the other day. It's supposed to be a trim dressing leaving a matte 'like new' shine etc, etc. I sprayed it on my lower grille pieces on my GTI (unfinished ABS plastic,) left it for a few minutes, wiped it off, and they left them looking like this...

I picked up some Nitro Seal to use on my '06 Ford Fusion that lives its life outside 24/7. I finally had the chance to apply it last week. The front half of the car has been resprayed by a previous owner on the cheap and suffers from some serious orange peel as well as a considerable amount of...

I recently bought a new brand of car wash soap that I thought I'd like better than what I had been using (it's 3D Pink Car Soap if it matters.) In reality, after use in my foam gun I've noticed that I have to use much too much of it (and it's not cheap with shipping) in order to get the foam I...

Basically I just bought this set of wheels for $450. They retail each for $330 so I got an amazing deal. They have some minor chips on the rim that I'm not worried about. On the face of the spokes he had them stored in cardboard stacked so the face of the spokes has little scratches on the...

My 2006 Ford Fusion has the black perforated leather seats with contrast stitching. I'm tearing my hair out trying to find a product that'll work well on my seats. Things I've tried: -Meguire's Gold Class "Rich Leather" -Griot's Leather Care -Lexol -Leather Honey None of them...

So what is it? Is it a scam? Is it any different than a good polish, seal, and wax? My gut tells me it's a scam. I'm not considering it, but a friend is. He was quoted $200 to do this "special" three part treatment. Some Links: Ming Mirror Finish Finally photos of my M35 w/ Ming...

I don't post much but I lurk a lot. I really respects the work you pro's do and I'd like your help to prove someone wrong. On another one of my forums someone asked about how to repair small scratches in his clearcoat of his economy car. This was the first answer that was given (before I...

I ust bought a 2009 MazdaSpeed3 in Crystal White Pearl. My previous car was a SS red Volvo S40, a completely different animal all together. So my question is, what can I use to bring out the pearl in the paint? I have a large array of products, but I am not averse to buying new stuff...

I'm looking to pick up a 2007-2008 MazdaSpeed 3 in the next few weeks. I've found a really nice one...but it's black. I don't mind black, in fact I kinda like it, but I don't want to be frustrated removing swirls and then causing new ones. :buffing::sosad Can anyone comment on the...

Here it goes. My neighbors think I'm nuts because I am out there every day doing something to my car. I aquired the car 2 years ago from a soccer mom with a cool 88,000 miles. Over the next year I spent over $2,000 in repairs. :angry Anyways, one day I was looking at the finish I could...

I'm getting ready to start amassing supplies for a full on detail over Spring Break. BTW, I'm the one that posted this gem: http://www.autopia.org/forum/car-detailing/124249-3-day-detail.html Anyway, I washed the car last weekend and guess what's back..the permawaterspots all over the...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here, but I've visited quite a few times before, just haven't bothered to join until now. Anyway I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a 2000 Volvo S40 (Red) which is my DD and spends it's time outside. A few months ago, I bought the "Klasse Kit"...
